September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month.

Every year, thousands of women are affected by gynaecological cancers, yet awareness of the signs and symptoms remains low.

Knowing what is normal for your body and recognising changes early can make a significant difference. Symptoms such as persistent bloating, unusual bleeding, pelvic pain, or changes in bladder or bowel habits should never be ignored.

This month, let's help break the silence, encourage open conversations, and promote early diagnosis. By raising awareness, we can empower more women to seek support and access care when they need it most.

School may be just around the corner, but there's still time to practice toilet training with your child. 🚽

Toilet training is more than just using the loo. It's about helping children know when they need to go, ask for help if they need it, manage clothing, wash their hands and build the confidence to take on new routines when they start school 📚

Every child develops at their own pace, and some children, including those with additional needs, may need more time and support than others - toilet training is all about progress, not perfection.

That's why our latest 'Toilet Training Talks' series with and .eyfs is packed with practical advice to help you support your child as they get ready for school, one step at a time 👣 💗
